Midnight Madness

Do you love art? How about supporting programs that foster the arts and education for kids in local schools? Do you dig really good music and the kindness of a strong cocktail (or two)? Then you probably need to make your way down to the Midnight in Manhattan event at the Schnitzer.

With the grooves of Satin Love Orchestra set to funk up the Coeta and Donald Barker Gallery, an art installation by Eugene artist Terry Holloway, the help of Ninkasi, Hard Times Distillery and SLUG Queen Holly GoSlugly, this is an evening that is set to pop off.

“It’s a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to dance the night away in a museum,” says GoSlugly, who will host the event.

All proceeds will go to supplement transportation stipends for school art tours, provide arts outreach kits that include complete art lessons to schools across Oregon and develop new programs to reach under-served audiences. This NYC-themed night of dancing and art will also feature food, no-host cocktails and some projections of the big apple.
